WARNING - To reduce the risk of

fire, electric shock, or injury to

persons when using your appliance,

follow basic precautions, including

the following:

It is essential to read all instructions

before using this appliance.

This machine conforms to current

safety requirements. However,

inappropriate use can lead to

personal injury and property

damage. Read the operating

instructions carefully before using

this machine.

The manufacturer cannot be held

responsible for damage caused by

non-observance of these Important

Safety Instructions.

The tumble dryer is only intended for

drying fabrics washed in a water

solution. Check fabric care labels to

verify materials can be machine dried.

Before maintenance, or cleaning

and care disconnect the dryer from the

electrical supply pulling the plug or

tripping the circuit breaker.

Do not allow children to play on or in

the appliance. Close supervision is

necessary when the appliance is used

near children. Always close the door

after use to prevent child hazards.

Make sure that no unattended

children can access the machine.

There is a potential danger that children

can be trapped in the drum. This may

cause major injuries or the death of the

child.

Do not reach into the dryer if the

drum is moving.

Do not install or store this appliance

where it will be exposed to the weather.

Do not tamper

with the controls.

Do not repair or replace any part of

the appliance or attempt any servicing

unless specifically recommended in

these operating instructions. Repairs to

electrical appliances should only be

performed by qualified personnel.

Incorrectly repaired machines may

pose a considerable risk to the user.

Clean the lint filter before or after

each load.

Keep the area around the exhaust

opening (toekick) and adjacent

surrounding areas free of lint, dust and

dirt.

The interior of the machine and

exhaust duct should be cleaned

periodically by qualified personnel.

Only use genuine Miele accessories

and replacement parts. If other parts

are used, guarantee, performance and

product liability claims may become

void.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To prevent the risk of fire, the

following articles must not be dried in

this tumble dryer:

–

items which have not been washed.

–

items, such as workwear, which have

not been thoroughly cleaned and are

still soiled with grease, oil or other

substances (such as cosmetics,

lotions, etc.)

If items have not been thoroughly

cleaned there is a danger that they

could ignite when heated, even after

they have been removed from the

dryer at the end of the program.

– items that have been previously

cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted

with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents,

wax, wax remover, chemicals for

buffing (e.g. mops and floor cloths)

or other flammable or explosive

substances. They may give off

vapors that could ignite or explode.

– items which have been spattered

with hair spray, nail polish remover or

similar substances.

When washing such heavily soiled

items ensure that you use sufficient

detergent and select a high

temperature. If in doubt, wash the

items several times.

To prevent the risk of fire, the

following articles or items must not be

dried in this tumble dryer:

–

fabrics which contain a large amount

of rubber, foam rubber or rubber-like

materials. For example, products

made from latex, shower caps,

waterproof textiles, rubberized

articles, and items of clothing and

pillows with foam rubber filling, or

similarly textured rubber-like

materials.

–

which contain padding or fillings

(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were

damaged the filling could get out

with the risk of igniting in the dryer.

In many programs, the heating

phase is followed by a cooling down

phase to ensure that the items are not

too hot to handle when you remove

them (this also avoids the danger of the

laundry self-igniting). The program is

not finished until the cooling down

phase is complete.

Always wait until the end of the

program before removing the laundry.

Warning: Do not switch the tumble

dryer off before the end of the drying

program. If this was done and the

laundry was then removed immediately

it could give off a great amount of heat.

Do not use fabric softeners or

products to eliminate static unless

recommended by the manufacturer of

the fabric softener or product.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In

the event of a malfunction or

breakdown, grounding will reduce the

risk of electric shock by providing a

path of least resistance for electric

current.

This appliance is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-grounding

conductor and a grounding plug. The

plug must be inserted into an

appropriate outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING – Improper connection of

the equipment grounding conductor

can result in a risk of electric shock.

Contact a qualified electrician if you are

in doubt as to whether the appliance is

properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided

with the appliance: if it will not fit the

outlet, have a proper outlet installed by

a qualified electrician.

Before this appliance is removed for

service or discarded, remove the door

to the drying compartment.

Drying tips

–

Observe the maximum loads, see the

"Program guide".

Overloading the dryer will result in

poor drying and wrinkling.

– Do not place dripping wet items in

the dryer. Spin the laundry after the

wash for at least 30 seconds.

– Dry delicate fabrics (with the fabric

care symbol r) with the "Low

temperature" option.

– Open jackets to allow even drying.

– Starched laundry can be dried in

the tumble dryer. The amount of

starch should be doubled during the

wash.

–

Wash new, colored items before

drying for the first time and do not

dry with light-colored items. These

fabrics can "bleed" (also onto plastic

parts of the dryer). Colored lint may

also get on the light colored items.

–

Wool and wool blends tend to felt

and shrink. Dry wool and wool

blends in the "Woollen handcare"

program.

–

The fine fabric of down filled items

tend to shrink. Dry these items in the

"Smoothing" program.

–

Dry pure linen items only if it is

recommended on the fabric care

label. The surface of the fabric may

become "rough". Dry these items in

the "Smoothing" program.

–

Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-Shirts and

underwear) tend to shrink when

washed and dried for the first time.

Do not overdry these fabrics.

– Permanent press and delicate

fabrics tend to crease more the

bigger the load size.

For better drying results reduce the

load size or select the "Shirts"

program.

Use

1. Sort the laundry

Loosen up the washed laundry.

For even drying results sort by

desired dryness, fiber/fabric, size

and residual moisture after spinning.

Do not dry items that may melt or

ignite in the dryer such as plastics,

rubber or sneakers. They could melt

and damage the laundry.

–

Check hems and seams, be sure that

no filling can come out.

– Comforter covers and pillowcases

should be fastened in order to

prevent small items from getting

trapped inside of them.

– Close zippers, hooks and eyelets.

– Tie fabric belts and apron ties.

– Remove or sew up released bra

underwires.

2. Load the laundry

Use the a button to open the drum

door.

drum.

Do not overload the drum.

Overloading strains the fabrics and

results in poor drying.

To prevent fabric damage, check

that laundry is not caught in the

closed door. Do not use softener

sheets in this dryer. Silicates

contained in these sheets could

cause the dryer to overheat.

Use

Remaining time

When a program is selected, the

approximate duration is displayed. This

is the "remaining time".

The program duration can vary due to

some factors: residual moisture after

spinning, fabric, load size, room

temperature and voltage fluctuations.

The adaptive electronic adjusts to the

individual load to display the accurate

remaining time. The remaining time is

constantly checked which can lead to

leaps in time.

The "Woolens handcare" and

"Smoothing" programs can be ended

ahead of time once a certain

temperature is reached. This may be

the case with fine fabrics or if the dryer

had some residual heat from a previous

program.

Before the end of a program

After drying with hot air, the cool down

phase finishes the program. "Cooling

down" is displayed. Only after the

cooling phase has ended is the

program finished.

The programs: "Woollen handcare" and

"Smoothing" do not have a cooling

down phase.

7. At the end of a program

"Anti-crease" (if selected) and "End"

mark the end of a program in the

display. During the anti-crease phase

the drum will turn in intervals if the

laundry is not immediately removed

from the dryer to prevent the laundry

from wrinkling. Run time 1 h.

Use the a button to open the drum

door.

Remove the laundry.

Check the drum for any missed
